Developers are making noise and moving earth at start of nesting season
Miami-Dade Commissioners will have to re-vote on the zoning and land use changes for the abandoned Calusa golf course if developers still want to build 550 homes on the 168 acres. An appeals court on Wednesday upheld an earlier court’s invalidation of the 2021 approval because the county had not provide the required pubic notice.
And it is highly unlikely developers will be able to get the same density now that environmental studies have shown proof that the site is a breeding rookery for Florida’s endangered tri-colored heron — as well as a bunch of other birds — and a foraging site for the endangered bonneted bat.
